Sober dog since 2019. I like walkable places, gardens, and compsci. Will occasionally geek out, don’t be scared. he/him. I am foremost a humanist but I do harbour the occasional doubt. Help me eliminate those. I will occasionally swear.
The minute Dems gain any power at all, watch them descend like locusts, hyping an endless series of fake scandals fed to them by the same RW slop machine that's been playing them for fools for decades. They can't wait.
The political media is visibly chafing at the current situation, where Republicans are glaringly awful, fucking everything up, running deviant candidates everyone hates, and Dems are just being normal & winning. The force is out of balance. They are viscerally eager to go after Dems about something.
I'm not kidding, the guy simply has to be at the very least deported at the end of this. If we're doing "he's not from here" shit, he is the most not from here guy alive. He needs jail or deportation the second it's viable to do it.
I’m Canadian and every American I’ve met abroad says things like “for what it’s worth I’m sorry for Trump” and like, yeah man, that’s great, get rid of him though jfc
We already have flying cars.
They're called helicopters.
They're really expensive and there are good reasons you have to have a pilot license and work with air traffic control to fly them.
Putting jets on a sedan is not going to result in a better vehicle or transportation experience in any way.
SCOOP: 'Tommy' from the now-viral exchange with Abdul El-Sayed is Thomas Teepell, a former staffer for Republican Senator Josh Hawley with close ties to Christian Nationalist Sean Feucht. He's the son of a former Bobby Jindal staffer whose consultant work was instrumental in getting Hawley elected.
🔥 “You voted to cover up the evidence even though you knew 14-year-old girls had been raped because Donald Trump told you to.”
Sen. @ossoff.bsky.social savages Mike Collins to his face on the debate stage
Look at the shabby state and increasingly authoritarian trajectory of the country and ask yourself if we can endure 2 more years of a lawless Trump administration wreaking havoc with no check from Congress, then vote accordingly. This is not the time for a protest vote or purity politics.
Chris Murphy: "Donald Trump was so fundamentally unprepared for this war that within days of the war starting, our billion dollar air bases and naval bases in the region were obliterated by the Iranians. Every single American should be furious about that."
Kimberly Guilfoyle was preparing for her congressional hearing to become U.S. ambassador to Greece when she reached out to a Trump donor with an urgent request: She needed $100,000 that she said she owed American Express—in a way that wouldn't leave a paper trail.
Trump: "With the war, it's just artificial. It's a little bit high. It's a small price to pay ... let them take out Los Angeles, let them take out San Diego. This is a very small price to pay."
🚨 BREAKING: The family of Renee Good and her partner, Rebecca Good, have filed two federal lawsuits over Good’s January killing by ICE agent Jonathan Ross in Minneapolis.

🤡 Schmitt beclowns himself 🤡
Schmitt concocted an elaborate conspiracy theory that Smith traveled to Atl for a Hawks game and to collude with Fani Willis, & flashed his "evidence" before accusing Smith of perjury. There's just one problem -- his facts were totally wrong.
Here's the whole sequence:
Reposting my message below as it’s relevent to upcoming municipal elections, the BC Provincial Election, the Alberta Separatism Referendum, and a lot more voting chances coming up. We often vote for “change,” and it’s often badly needed, but never forget that a “change option” CAN BE EVEN WORSE.
You really would think that nations, and even cities for that matter, would rethink the temptation to flirt with far-right populist “reform” politicians selling “change” after watching the corrupt, fascist dumpster fire that is Donald Trump.
Hurricanes are change. A flesh-eating disease is change.
“Are you really considering running again? What are your thoughts on McConnell?”

🧵Lauren Boebert had sex with three of her staffers. Two of them were women. Her sex partners were Clarisse Navarro, Jeffrey Small and Raven Finnegan. Navarro's husband Jace Ratzlaff: "I assumed this would eventually surface. I’ll have no further comment on this topic.”
DRAGONFLIGHT (1978)
Acrylic on Masonite - 20" X 30"
For the 1st book in Anne McCaffrey's legendary Dragonriders of Pern series, I wanted to create a literal visualization of the title. I selected an aerial POV and tilted the horizon to simulate the dizzying sensation of flight. #art#booksky 🪐📚
This is your chance let everyone know you are not going to do Christmas this year. Sure you don’t get presents but also you don’t have to buy presents, or put up decorations that you’re just going to take down in a month. Cozy up with a book and let the stress-free life envelop you in a warm hug
some middle rat history, w/clarifications:
1) I should have titled my previous "AI Safety Is Mostly A Sex Cult In Berkeley, California" so people would stop arguing with me about people who aren't in Berkeley, California.
2) The sex cult part of this is both predatory and integral to what they do.
